As a descendant of two U.S. presidents, James Madison and Zachary Taylor, you might say that <b>Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor</b>, Jr. had leadership and ambition in his blood. He is widely considered one of the founding fathers of the bourbon industry, fighting for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, nearly three decades after he purchased the now Buffalo Trace Distillery. During his time, Taylor implemented several innovative methods still used today, such as climate controlled ageing warehouses. He is remembered as the last of a breed, a true bourbon aristocrat who was responsible for linking the classic and modern eras of <b>bourbon</b> making. E.H. Taylor Single Barrel is aged exclusively in Warehouse C, which was built by Taylor in 1881 and proven to be an excellent aging warehouse. The delicate aroma carries toasted oak, with dried figs and butterscotch. The sweetness on the tongue remains balanced with tobacco and dark spices.
